Police in Ganta, Nimba County have arrested a Pastor for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl in the Royal Community. Pastor Prince Nuah, Senior Pastor of the Redeemed Church in Royal Community in Ganta, was arrested over the weekend following a complaint filed by the child’s parents that their daughter was raped by the Pastor. No evidence has so far been provided to prove that the 13-year-old girl was raped, but Pastor Nuah, 29, is currently detained at the Ganta Police station awaiting court trial. This is the second time in less than a year that a clergyman has been arrested in Ganta on allegation of rape. It can be recalled that in mid last year, another pastor was arrested, tried and sent to prison on allegation of raping a minor.
